In a measure that prior Republican President George W. Bush just could not do, President Barack Obama launched a targeted operation against Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The attack was carried out by a small team of Americans in which no Americans were harmed. This team of special forces showed extraordinary courage and capability when they successfully orchestrated the attack. Osama bin Ladan was reportedly shot in the head. There have been at least two reports as to the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden's body. The first, is that he was buried at sea, as is custom by an Islamic tradition. The second, his body is in U.S. hands and was shot in the head with a bullet.
People from all over the world are jubilant. Al Qaeda, the mother ship for Islamic extremism, has cast a wide net over much of the Middle East. It has launched spectacular attacks throughout the world -- on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 that killed at least 224 people, the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 that killed over 3000 people, the Madrid train bombings in 2004, fighting with U.S. soldiers in Somalia in 1993, and who could ever forget the attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 sailors in October of 2000.
In my mind it would have been exceptional to see Bin Laden's body on display for the whole world to see. The fact that the number #1 most wanted person and foremost terrorist named by the FBI and U.S. Government is now dead makes people from all over to want to rejoice.He has been claimed to be the most evil man in modern time. Now, one can only wonder where the soul of Osama bin Laden rests, but the majority of everyone who has been touched by the evil of Osama bin Laden would agree that he is now burning in hell.
Since the announcement, security around the world has been stepped up, for a posibility Al Queda attacks in light of bin Laden's death. So far, none have been reported.
